Manage clients, visits, and payments in 2–3 taps. canonical: https://routedesq.com/ --- # Route Desq Route Desq is a mobile-first web app built for solo contractors who visit the same clients on a schedule. Pool cleaners, dog groomers, house cleaners, car detailers, handymen, landscapers — anyone who runs a route. It replaces the patchwork of contacts apps, text threads, spreadsheets, and sticky notes with one tool that fits in a pocket and takes 2–3 taps for every common task. No app store download required. Works in any mobile browser. Installs to the home screen as a PWA. Fully bilingual — available in English and Spanish (español). ## The Problem It Solves Solo contractors run their business out of a contacts app, a spreadsheet, text threads, and their own memory. It works until it doesn't — a missed seasonal restart, six weeks of unpaid visits slipping by, a client note buried in a text from eight months ago. Route Desq replaces that patchwork system with one tool that fits in a pocket. ## Who It Is For - Solo pool cleaners managing a weekly route - Independent dog groomers with recurring clients - House cleaners tracking biweekly appointments - Mobile car detailers with a growing client list - Handymen juggling ongoing maintenance clients - Solo landscapers and lawn care operators - Any solo contractor who visits the same clients on a schedule ## Core Features ### Today's Job List Every morning, the day is laid out automatically based on service frequency and last visit date. Client name, address, rate, access notes, flags — everything needed before pulling up to the property. One tap to navigate in Maps, one tap to call, one tap to log the visit. Clients with overdue payments are flagged. Clients on hold are removed from the list automatically. ### Client Records Every client gets a full record: contact info, service address, rate, billing frequency, visit history, payment history, access notes, and flags. Add a new client standing in their driveway in under a minute. ### Request Payment — One Tap Finish the job, tap Request Payment. A ready-to-send text opens in the messaging app with the amount and payment handles already filled in. Supports Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, PayPal, and cash or check requests. No payment processing — money moves directly between contractor and client. No fees, no middleman. ### Visit Logging Log a visit in under 30 seconds. Add a note, snap a photo, mark follow-up needed. Timestamped, attached to the client record. The next scheduled date is calculated automatically on save. ### Dashboard and Needs Attention The dashboard surfaces what needs action: overdue payments, clients not visited recently, holds about to expire, estimates waiting on a response. Nothing gets lost while heads-down on the route. ### Estimates and Quotes Send an estimate via text before the job starts. Track status: Pending, Accepted, or Declined. Estimates pending too long auto-surface in Needs Attention. ### Expense Tracking Log business expenses from the Dashboard. Assign to a specific client or keep general. Monthly total calculated automatically. ### Temp Hold Put clients on hold for a trip, the off-season, or any pause. They drop off the job list automatically and surface again with a reminder before the return date. ### CSV Import and Export Import clients from a spreadsheet. Export client roster or payment history anytime. Data always belongs to the contractor. ### Spanish / English Switch the entire app to Spanish in one tap. Every button, every label, every screen. The getting-started guide is also available in Spanish at routedesq.com/getting-started-es.html ## Pricing 30-day free trial.

Trade-specific information is available for: ## Pool Cleaning Solo pool cleaners manage weekly or biweekly routes with consistent clients and consistent stops. Route Desq handles client records, visit logs, chemical notes, payment requests, and daily job lists — all from the phone at the side of the pool. ## Dog Grooming Mobile and solo groomers track recurring clients, appointment notes, pet flags, and payment collection without a booking platform fee. Every client record holds the dog's name, temperament notes, and service history. ## House Cleaning House cleaners with biweekly or monthly recurring clients need a tool that tracks who was last cleaned, when payment was requested, and which clients are overdue. Route Desq surfaces all of it on the dashboard. ## Car Detailing Mobile detailers track clients by vehicle, service history, and payment status. Visit logs hold notes per detail job. Payment requests go out via Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App in one tap. ## Handyman / Maintenance Handymen and maintenance contractors with ongoing clients use Route Desq to track recurring visits, log job notes, attach photos, and stay on top of who owes what. ## Landscaping The original use case. Solo landscapers and lawn care operators who need a client list, a daily job list, a way to request payment, and a dashboard that surfaces what needs attention — without enterprise software overhead.

The page walks through: waking up and opening the app to see today's client list, navigating to the first stop, reviewing client notes and flags before going in, logging the visit in under 30 seconds after finishing, sending a payment request with one tap, and checking the dashboard at end of day to see who still owes and what's coming up tomorrow. The goal is to make the app feel concrete and familiar before someone signs up — not a feature list, but a real day.
